Chapter 496 Bid

Chen Yuan slowly straightened up and stared at the three golden, wrinkled apricots in the bronze mirror, with a trace of solemnity flashing in his eyes.

As soon as Elder Zhang finished speaking, a hoarse voice rang out: "I would like to give you two Qin Nian Pills to protect your soul from the intrusion of the inner demons when you are going through the inner demon tribulation."

Elder Zhang nodded slightly: "Qinian Dan meets the seller's requirements, but are there any fellow Taoists who are bidding?"

At this time, another dry voice came out: "I have a bottle of heavenly fire liquid in my hand, which can neutralize the yin fire tribulation."

"There is also a piece of wind thunder crystal, which can weaken the thunder tribulation. They are rare infant-forming spiritual objects. I am willing to exchange them for these three diamond apricots."

Elder Zhang pondered for a moment and shook his head slightly: "The seller once said that the priority is to select treasures that can withstand the thunder tribulation. The wind thunder crystal can only weaken the thunder tribulation a little, and the effect can only be said to be better than nothing."

"As for the Skyfire Liquid, it is not what the seller needs. These two things may not be enough."

The dry voice was silent for a moment, then sounded again: "I will exchange the Heavenly Fire Liquid for a Wind Thunder Crystal, a total of two Wind Thunder Crystals, in exchange for these three Diamond Apricots."

Elder Zhang's eyes lit up: "Two pieces of wind thunder crystals can weaken the thunder tribulation by two points, which barely meets the seller's requirements."

The withered voice fell silent again. Elder Zhang looked around and said loudly: "Are there any fellow Taoists who are bidding? Thousand-year-old body-tempering spiritual herbs are rare, and diamond apricot is one of the spiritual herbs with the best body-tempering effect. There are also Two thousand years of age is not far behind compared to three thousand years of spiritual grass.”

"The seller only asks for two kinds of baby-making spiritual objects in exchange. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that should not be missed..."

He said that these three diamond apricots were rare in heaven and on earth, but there was still no third bidder.

Thousand-year body-tempering spiritual grass is indeed precious. If it were placed in ancient times, when body cultivation was popular, there would be no way to exchange for these three diamond apricots without ten three-thousand-year spiritual grass.

But in the current world of immortal cultivation, physical cultivation is declining, and although the thousand-year-old body-tempering spirit grass is precious, it has become useless.

Dharma cultivation does not require strengthening the physical body. Even if one wants to temper the physical body, it cannot withstand the overbearing medicinal power of Vajra Apricot.

The eight-hundred-year-old body-tempering spirit grass is more popular than the thousand-year body-tempering spirit grass, because the pill-forming monks must strengthen their physical bodies in order to survive the Yin Fire Tribulation.

The only thing that requires thousand-year body-tempering spirit grass is Nascent Soul body cultivation.

And there are only two Nascent Soul Body Cultivators in the entire Donghua Continent, no, now there are three.

Elder Zhang's eyes paused on the thatched house No. 27, and then moved away. This thatched house was exactly where Chen Yuan was.

Others don't know which Nascent Soul cultivator is sitting in these thatched houses, but it is not difficult for Tianxuan Sect who controls the secret space and the formation.

Seeing that there was still no third bidder, Chen Yuan finally spoke: "I have a pill in my hand, which can be regarded as a baby-making spirit item, but the effect is somewhat special. I don't know if it meets the seller's requirements."

After being transformed by the bronze mirror formation, his voice became extremely sharp, like a monster's claws scratching an iron sword, which was very unpleasant to hear.

Elder Zhang smiled with a smile on his face: "What kind of elixir is in your hands, fellow Taoist? I will make a judgment on my own."

"Tribulation Thunder Pill." Chen Yuan spoke slowly.

Elder Zhang's expression changed slightly: "What fellow Taoist said is the Tribulation Thunder Pill refined with thousands of years of thunder?"

Chen Yuan was a little surprised: "Yes, it is this pill."

The Tribulation Thunder Pill can only be refined by the ten major sects in Jiuxian Continent. Ordinary monks have never heard of it. Unexpectedly, Elder Zhang also knew about this pill, so he didn't need to bother to explain it.

Elder Zhang frowned slightly when he heard this, and there was a trace of hesitation in his eyes, as if he was a little embarrassed: "Thousand-year Lei Tan has been extinct for tens of thousands of years, and the Tribulation Lei Dan has also been extinct for a long time."

"As far as I know, the last Tribulation Thunder Pill was born in the secret realm of Ji Lei Mountain 8,400 years ago. It is extremely old. Can you ask fellow Taoist to take out the pill and let me check it."

This request was reasonable and reasonable. With a thought in his mind, Chen Yuan took out a jade bottle from the space inside his body, put it in a storage bag prepared in advance, and threw it towards the bronze mirror.

The storage bag fell on the mirror, and a subtle spatial fluctuation came out. The mirror rippled like water waves, and the storage bag slowly blended into it, appeared outside the thatched house, and fell to the stone platform.

Elder Zhang caught the storage bag, took out the jade bottle, tilted it slightly, and poured out a blue pill, surrounded by several thunder patterns.

Elder Zhang pondered for a moment and then cast a spell on the elixir.

Crack!

Tiny silver lightning suddenly appeared on the blue pill. Elder Zhang's eyes lit up, and he fired several spells one after another. The light of the blue pill flowed and changed.

After a long time, Elder Zhang finally breathed a sigh of relief, put the blue pill back into the jade bottle and put it into the storage bag.

But he did not return the storage bag to Chen Yuan, but bowed with his fists in front of him and said: "This elixir meets the seller's requirements, but it has serious drawbacks. I need to inform the seller and ask him to make a decision. Please tell me." Friends, wait a moment.”

As he spoke, he took out a transmission note, put it to his mouth, said a few words silently, raised his hand and threw it, the transmission note turned into a stream of light, flew into the sky, and disappeared into the bronze mirror picture on everyone's desk.

After a while, another transmission note flew back. After listening attentively, Elder Zhang nodded slightly: "The seller has made a decision. These three diamond apricots belong to Taoist Fellow No. 27!"

After that, he raised his sleeves and closed the wooden box containing the diamond apricot again, put it into the storage bag, threw it into the air, and flew towards thatched house No. 27.

At this moment, the hoarse voice sounded, with a hint of displeasure: "Daoyou Zhang, may I ask what the effect of this Tribulation Thunder Pill is, why is it better than my Qi Nian Pill?"

Elder Zhang frowned: "Daoyou, do you not believe in my eyesight?"

The hoarse voice said lightly: "I dare not, but since I have participated in the bidding, I must lose with conviction."

The dry voice also sounded: "I also want to know what kind of treasure this Tribulation Thunder Pill is. From its name, it should be related to the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation."

"The Wind and Thunder Crystal is already a first-class spiritual object to resist the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation. Could it be that this pill weakens the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation even more than the Wind and Thunder Crystal?"

Elder Zhang said lightly: "This Tribulation Thunder Pill can weaken the power of the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation by 30%!"

"Impossible!" The hoarse voice blurted out.

"Weaken the power of the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation by 30%? Are you serious?" The dry voice was also very surprised.

There were also Nascent Soul cultivators who did not participate in the bidding who questioned: "If this pill really has such an effect, why would it be used to exchange for a mere three Vajra Apricots?"

"Daoyou once said that this Tribulation Thunder Pill has a lot of disadvantages. I wonder what the disadvantages are?"

"It can weaken the power of the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation by 30%, so what's wrong with some disadvantages?"

Seeing that everyone began to argue, Elder Zhang explained: "The way of heaven is constant. After forming a Nascent Soul, those who take the Tribulation Thunder Pill will have lower strength than cultivators of the same level, and will stay in the early stage of the Nascent Soul for the rest of their lives, and it will be difficult to make any progress in their cultivation."

After hearing this, everyone quieted down.

Tribulation Thunder Pill can only weaken the power of the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation by 30%, but its disadvantages are so serious that anyone who has a glimmer of hope to form a Nascent Soul with their own strength will probably not take this pill.

But no matter how weak a Nascent Soul cultivator is, he is still a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Immediately, a hoarse voice sounded: "I happen to have a thousand-year-old spiritual herb for tempering the body. Can you exchange it for a Tribulation Thunder Pill?"

"If you feel that a thousand-year-old spiritual herb is not enough, I can also take out the best spiritual stone and thousand-year-old spiritual herb."

Another stiff voice came out: "May I ask if the one in the thatched hut No. 27 is Fellow Daoist Xiao from Jiangxian Mountain, Fellow Daoist Mo from the Demon Yuan Palace, or Fellow Daoist Chen from Lingyun Sect?"

"I also want to exchange for a Tribulation Thunder Pill. Feel free to set the conditions. I will definitely satisfy you!"

Elder Zhang frowned: "Fellow Daoists, please wait. Private transactions are strictly prohibited at the auction, and you are not allowed to inquire about the identities of fellow Daoists. If you continue, don't blame me for asking you to leave the secret realm!"

After these words came out, the secret realm finally quieted down.

But everyone was guessing who was in the thatched hut No. 27.

The cultivation world of Donghuazhou is large, but also small. There are not many secrets between Yuanying cultivators.

There are only three physical cultivators in the entire Donghua Continent. Xiao Mingyuan and Mo Tianming have been famous for a long time. Chen Yuan, the new supreme elder of Lingyun Sect, has also become famous for cutting off the arm of Taoist Du Kun.

Logically speaking, the long-lost pills such as Jie Lei Dan should only be produced by Xiao Mingyuan or Mo Tianming, but Chen Yuan seems to be collecting spiritual materials everywhere, and his wealth seems to be extremely rich, so it is not impossible.

But no matter who this person is, they can only guess in their hearts, and they can only verify it after the auction is over.

On the stone platform, Elder Zhang took out the next item: "The 50th treasure, two 1,300-year-old Cang Yuan fruits..."

In the thatched house No. 27, a storage bag flew out of the bronze mirror and landed on the jade table.

Chen Yuan probed into it with his spiritual sense, took out the wooden box, opened it, and carefully examined it.

Three wrinkled diamond apricots, but inside they hid a huge and pure spiritual energy, exuding a trace of violent aura.

Jing Shuhan once gave Chen Yuan an eight-hundred-year-old diamond apricot, which was similar to these three, but the gold color on the surface was much deeper and fuller, and the spiritual energy contained was much thinner.

The older the diamond apricot is, the lighter the gold color becomes, and the drier the surface becomes.

The legendary diamond apricot that has grown for ten thousand years is just a dry apricot, inconspicuous, and nothing special can be seen. Only the Divine Transformation cultivator can see the pure spiritual energy contained in it.

Chen Yuan smiled slightly, closed the wooden box again, affixed the soul-sealing talisman, and stored it in his body space.

These three diamond apricots are his primary goal in participating in the Tianxuan auction this time.

Thousand-year spiritual herbs are hard to find, and thousand-year body-tempering spiritual herbs are even rarer. No sect will cultivate them specifically.

After getting the auction treasure list from Master He, Chen Yuan took a fancy to the diamond apricot.

He didn't have a soul item for forming a baby, but he had a thousand-year-old thunder calamus. If he refined it into a thunder pill, the weakening of the heavenly thunder tribulation would be better than any soul item for forming a baby - but the disadvantages were the same.

However, Chen Yuan planned to leave this thousand-year-old thunder calamus to Jin Luoheng. If he couldn't form a baby by himself, he would use the thunder pill as a trick.

Although he could no longer break through the middle stage of the Nascent Soul after taking the thunder pill, as long as he could form a baby, his life span would increase by 500 years, and even the weakest Nascent Soul cultivator would be far better than a Core Forming cultivator.

However, these three two-thousand-year-old diamond apricots were really rare.

After hesitating, Chen Yuan went to Jiangzhen Peak to ask Jin Luoheng what he thought.

He got the answer. Jin Luoheng wanted to live forever, but he would rather die than not live forever.

Chen Yuan saw Jin Luoheng's firm heart and realized that the thunder pill was useless to him.

Chen Yuan felt relieved and entered the Alchemy Pavilion to refine this thunder pill.

The Tribulation Thunder Pill is very special. One furnace of spiritual herbs can only produce one pill. There is no success rate, only success or failure.

It may be that the effect of this pill is too great and is not tolerated by the way of heaven.

Fortunately, Chen Yuan was very skilled in alchemy. He had a 50% success rate in refining the initial Nascent Soul elixir, and successfully refined the Tribulation Thunder Pill.

Among the elixirs required for the Tribulation Thunder Pill, apart from the extremely rare Millennium Thunder Pill, the other three auxiliary medicines are eight-hundred-year-old elixirs, which are relatively common and Chen Yuan has already collected them.

After all, this is just an elixir between the elixir formation stage and the Nascent Soul stage, and the difficulty of refining is not too high.

Chen Yuan was also worried whether the seller of Diamond Apricot would reject the Tribulation Thunder Pill, but now it seems that not everyone's Taoist heart is as firm as Jin Luoheng's.

As long as he can conceive a baby, that person doesn't mind the disadvantages of the Thunder Tribulation Pill.

There are obviously many such people, and the two monks who asked him to buy the Thunder Pill probably had the same idea.

There are too many monks in this world who cannot rely on their own strength to conceive babies, but a Nascent Soul monk can determine the rise and fall of a sect.

The Pingdu sect in the Si Kingdom was destroyed by the Yuanying monks whose inheritance was cut off.

Except for the nine major sects on Donghua Continent, there are very few sects that have been passed down for two thousand years, and even fewer that can be passed down for five thousand or even ten thousand years.

Most of the sects that collapsed were due to lack of support and the lack of protection from Nascent Soul monks.

A grain of Tribulation Thunder Pill can change your destiny against the will of heaven.

…

Starting from the diamond apricot, the treasures that Elder Zhang took out were much more precious than before. They were either thousand-year-old spiritual grass, top-grade spiritual materials, and whole bottles of Yuanying-stage elixirs that were auctioned, which attracted a group of Yuanying monks to bid. It ignited the atmosphere of Tianxuan Auction.

Chen Yuan just watched quietly and did not participate.

As Elder Zhang took out the sixty-fifth treasure, he finally regained his energy.

"The sixty-fifth treasure is Tianluo wood, a top-grade wood-type spiritual material. It is one foot and three inches long and extremely tough. It can be used as the main material for refining high-level magic weapons. The seller wants to exchange it for the top-grade metal spiritual material Five Elements Iron. Or the best earth-attribute spiritual material Jiuqu Huangsha!”

The Tianluo wood he sent to the auction finally appeared in front of a group of Yuanying monks.

Soon someone made an offer: "I have a piece of five-element iron in my hand, weighing seventy-four kilograms and six taels. I am willing to exchange it for this Tianluo wood!"

Elder Zhang was not surprised. Tianluo Mu had been included in the list of auction treasures as early as four years ago and was known to the Nascent Soul cultivators of all sects.

If you really want to exchange for this piece of spiritual wood, you will definitely prepare Five Elements Iron or Jiuqu Yellow Sand.

He looked around and said loudly: "Fellow Taoist No. 8 Thatched Cottage took out a piece of five-element iron, but are there any other Taoist friends bidding?"

He said it three times in a row, but no one answered, and finally said: "Deal!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a storage bag fell from the sky.

Elder Zhang caught the storage bag and took out a walnut-sized, colorful piece of iron. His hand sank slightly.

The Five Elements Iron is extremely dense. It is only the size of a walnut and weighs seventy-four kilograms.

Elder Zhang typed out a series of spells just like he had inspected all the treasures before. After examining them carefully, he put away the piece of five-element iron, put the Tianluo wood into the storage bag, raised his hand and threw it, and flew into the sky.

Chen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. Two top-quality spiritual materials were needed to repair the ancient teleportation array, and the Five Elements Iron was already available.

It's a pity that what this person took out was not Jiuqu Huangsha. Compared with Five Elements Iron, Jiuqu Huangsha is more precious and rarer. The last time it appeared in the world was already 2,400 years ago.

The sixty-sixth treasure was a high-level magic weapon that could be exchanged for Millennium Spiritual Grass and Nascent Soul Stage Pills, causing more than a dozen Nascent Soul cultivators to scramble for it.

But in Chen Yuan's view, this high-level magic weapon is quite mediocre, not to mention compared to the Dunkong robe, it is also much inferior in front of Chongxuan Peak.

In the end, this high-level magic weapon was bought at an astonishing price for a bottle of Nascent Soul Stage elixir and ten thousand-year-old spiritual herbs.

Chen Yuan was speechless. According to his guess, the buyer had probably reached the peak of the early stage of Nascent Soul, but had been unable to break through the bottleneck in the middle stage. The elixirs were no longer useful, so he took out so many elixirs and herbs in exchange for one. High level magic weapon.

The sixty-seventh treasure, Elder Zhang took out the Flowing Fire: "...the top-grade fire attribute spiritual material Flowing Fire can burn all things and can be used as the main material for refining high-level magic weapons. The seller wants to exchange it for the top-grade earth attribute spiritual material. The material is made of nine curves of yellow sand!”

On the stone platform, among the transparent jade, an orange flame burned quietly, but no one bid.

Chen Yuan's heart sank, and Elder Zhang said again: "Liu Guanghuo has not appeared in the world for thousands of years. It is full of spirituality. The refined magic weapon has the potential to be promoted to a top-level magic weapon. This opportunity cannot be missed. Can any Taoist friends bid?"

He waited for a while, but still no one bid.

Chen Yuan sighed softly. The nine-curved yellow sand was as spiritual as the flowing light fire. The refined magic weapon has the potential to be promoted to the top level magic weapon. It has not appeared in the world for thousands of years.

In Jiuxian Continent, this kind of top-grade spiritual material is relatively common, but in Donghua Continent it is extremely rare.

The spiritual energy of Donghua Continent is thin, and most of the top-quality spiritual materials produced are not spiritual enough. They are as different as Yanlimu. They can refine high-level magic weapons, but if they go further, they will be powerless.

The flowing light fire has disappeared in Donghua Continent. This flowing light fire was brought by Chen Yuan from Jiuxian Continent.

Maybe the Jiuqu Huangsha, like the Flowing Light Fire, has become extinct in Donghua Continent, and he can no longer gather the materials to repair the ancient teleportation array.

Suddenly, a deep voice sounded: "I would like to exchange for this ball of flowing fire. Does the seller have any other conditions?"

Elder Zhang shook his head: "The seller only has one condition: Jiuqu Huangsha."

The rich voice sighed heavily: "What a pity..."

In the thatched hut No. 27, Chen Yuan pondered for a moment, took out a sound transmission note, put it to his lips, said a few words silently, and then threw it into the bronze mirror.

The mirror surface rippled, and the sound transmission note flew out of the thatched hut and landed in the hands of Elder Zhang.

Elder Zhang's eyes flashed with surprise, and he caught the sound transmission note and listened attentively.

His face was more surprised, and he raised his head and said: "The seller agrees to bid with the best spiritual materials. Daoists who are interested in this ball of flowing light fire can make an offer." (End of this chapter)
